Viking Axe head found in Gloucestershire

A man in Gloucestershire with the real name of Ian Hunter Darling has found an iron axe head "under a hedge in the garden." The axe seems to have dropped by invading Vikings in 894, when they sailed up the Severn and fought the Anglo-Saxons. Mr. Hunter Darling was quite surprised to learn what was lurking under his hedge.
